“THE GOSPEL OF GETTING RICH”
Dr. John Helgeland

The phenomenon known as "prosperity gospel" -- the belief that God wants you to be rich -- has come under new examination and criticism during the current economic recession as televangelists and other proponents of that brand of theology continue to prosper.

Dr. Helgeland is a professor in the Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies at North Dakota State University. He has extensively studied televangelists.
